Weekly update
Its being a busy week, loaded with revisions and assignments. Two reports and one of them is due this Monday. Anyway other than working very hard, I managed to squeeze out some time for R and R (Rest and Relax). Hmm starting off with Monday, err… nothing worth mentioning on Monday.
Tuesday, Pub Quiz Night!
Mo, the third guy in the picture below, being the class Social Rep, he initiated our first social outing on Tuesday. We headed for a country pub call the Bun Penny to have my very first experience of English pub.

QUIZ NIGHT EVERY TUESDAY AT THE BUN PENNY WITH JOHN THE QUIZ MASTER
So it was a Quiz night. Each of us paid UK$1 to participate. How the quiz went was that, throughout the night, the Quiz master asked 50 Questions. 10 questions each of different category; Food, Sports, Music and the other two that I have forgotten. Another 10 marks went to the all night question. We were given 5 IQ questions which we have the whole night to answer. Example, form 15 four letter words with the word SULTAN. Anyway, I must say that the GK of the UK guys are fantastic. We got 48 correct answers out of the 50 questions and 9/10 marks on the IQ one. But of those that we got wrong, it was not that we do not know he answers, it was because we made silly mistakes.
When the result was announced, our score tied with another team for the first place. And came the tie breaker Question. When did Lotus first Join the Formula One? Opps... none knew the answer… But we manage to give a fairly good guess, 1965! The other team said 1963. The answer was 1958!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arhh… … ok we have to settle for second place, prize money of UK$17. The other team won UK$25. Good taxi money. We all agreed that we will go back again next week to grab the next UK$25.
Before we leave the pub, group photo of the Runner up team.

Friday
Played my first soccer game in UK with the Canadians on Friday when all the UK people left Sultan and headed back home for the weekend. As most my soccer kakis know, I can’t take heat fatigue well as I can’t perspire from my upper body and above, I dun last long during a soccer match in Singapore. But surprisingly, I was able to play a full match here and run like a crazy horse. Must be the weather. I am going to ask if I can take my Ippt for next workyear here and send the result back to Singapore. $200 in pocket… wahahaha!!!
Was a game of 5 on 5, we played on half the football field with a smaller goal. Good game, scored 2 and created a few. Put in too much passion in the game and ended up with this when I tried to block a cross.
Nice 'X' there right? kekeke. Going to play more soccer today.
Will end the post with the picyure of the week
New week, new suit, new tie
